For a Secure Sense of Balance and a New Balance in Life

Self-help for dizziness

Sufferers of dizziness not only have problems walking and standing, but also lack a sense of security and stability. ENT specialist and dizziness expert Dr Uso Walter explains how to successfully treat balance disorders and provides many practical tips.

When our sense of balance is disturbed, we become physically and emotionally unbalanced. After pain, dizziness is the most common symptom for which patients consult a doctor. Many sufferers develop insecurity and anxiety due to the swaying and spinning in the head. If these patients go to their regular doctor, they often do not find adequate help there. Because balance disorders also repeatedly present doctors with a major challenge. This is mainly because dizziness can have a great many different causes. This book provides an overview of the different types of dizziness and helps you to recognise the reasons for your own symptoms. Using case studies, it explains modern therapies and offers help for self-help with numerous exercises.
